It was sand volleyball during the summers and hard court in the winter for me. This was in Cincinnati, which surprisingly is a HUGE volleyball town. There are a lot of places that offer summer and winter leagues of all types. I started out playing on the Cincinnati Ski Club's rec league in 1992 and played on it til 95. Post Ski Club league I played at the Cherry Grove Bowling center's sand courts, which were great. By that time I had a permanent team and played with them until I moved away from Cincy in 2006.
While sand is easier on you landing and falling, being only 5'8" I had to jump that much harder to block and spike. Kind of a trade off.
In all hard court was easier for me to play on, where I could see someone north of 6'2" would like sand.
Interesting, thanks! I've never played hard court myself. In beach volleyball I see people of all ages playing though, if it's any indication.
